Weber was designated for assignment by the Red Sox on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Boston added seven prospects to its 40-man roster as protection from the Rule 5 draft, and Weber ended up being a roster casualty. The 30-year-old righty logged a 4.40 ERA and 27 strikeouts in 43 innings in 2020.

Weber (1-3) allowed two runs (zero earned) on three hits while striking out three across three innings in a 6-5 loss to the Yankees on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Weber entered in the 10th inning and got a quick 1-2-3 inning, but he came back out for the 11th after his team failed to score and immediately gave up a single to Luke Voit which brought around Mike Tauchman to put the Yankees up 5-4. The Red Sox were able to tie it back up once again and so Weber trotted back out for the 12th and surrendered a two-out double to DJ LeMahieu to put the Yankees back up again. The Red Sox were unable to match it in the bottom of the inning, giving Weber his third loss of 2020. The right-hander has a 4.76 ERA and a troublesome 24:14 K:BB across 39.2 innings this season.

Weber retired both of the hitters he faced en route to notching his third hold of the season in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Marlins.

EDGE Analysis

Weber appeared as though he might have earned another look in Boston's rotation after he held the Blue Jays to two runs over five innings Sept. 5, but his last three appearances have come out of the bullpen. With rookie Tanner Houck having entered the rotation this week and Nick Pivetta expected to receive the opportunity to start next week, Weber is expected to fill a relief role over Boston's final nine games.

Weber improved to 1-2 after working 2.1 innings out of the bullpen and giving up a run on two hits and a walk while striking out four in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Rays.

EDGE Analysis

Weber had started in his last two appearances and fared respectably, but due to a pair of off days this week (Monday and Wednesday) and the expected return of Nathan Eovaldi (calf) from the injured list this weekend, the 30-year-old right-hander was available out of the bullpen. He came on in relief of starter Mike Kickham in the bottom of the fifth and was able to preserve Boston's one-run lead, picking up his first win of the season in the process. Weber will likely slot back into the rotation in next week's series with the Marlins when a fifth starter is needed again.

Weber allowed two runs on five hits and a walk while striking out two over five innings in a no-decision versus the Blue Jays on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

The runs against Weber came on a Teoscar Hernanez solo shot in the second inning and a fourth-inning Travis Shaw double. Weber now has a 5.45 ERA and 1.42 WHIP through 33 innings this season. It's unclear if the right-hander will get another turn in the rotation.

Weber will start Saturday against the Blue Jays.

EDGE Analysis

Weber has improved while working out of the bullpen following a shaky beginning to the season as a starter. He last pitched Tuesday when he worked four innings against the Braves. The soft-tossing right-hander is getting a second chance in the rotation.

Weber allowed two runs on four hits and struck out two over four innings in a no-decision against the Braves on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Weber, who began the abbreviated season as a member of the rotation, returned to start Tuesday after poor results early on. Boston's rotation is thin, so Weber could get more starts before the end of the season. Weber has a 5.79 ERA (6.75 FIP) over 28 innings.

Weber will step into the rotation to start Tuesday's game against the Braves, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

EDGE Analysis

Weber has bounced between the rotation and the bullpen on multiple occasions just over a month into the season, which speaks to the Red Sox's dearth of appealing starting options more than anything else. Manager Ron Roenicke has been unwilling to commit to Kyle Hart receiving another turn through the rotation, so a strong showing by Weber on Tuesday could be enough for the right-hander to receive additional starts.

Weber allowed one run on five hits over six innings out of the bullpen in Wednesday's 9-5 loss to the Rays. He struck out four and did not issue a walk.

EDGE Analysis

Weber deserves credit for keeping the Red Sox from getting completely blown out after Zack Godley gave up eight runs in three innings to begin the game. It would not be a surprise to see the two flip-flop roles, with Godley following in relief of Weber next week. The Red Sox face the Yankees on Monday, so it's mostly moot for fantasy purposes as neither player would be a worthwhile gamble in such a tough matchup.

Weber was recalled by Boston on Wednesday, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

EDGE Analysis

Weber made three poor starts for the Red Sox earlier this season, posing a 9.90 ERA, a 2.40 and a 3:9 K:BB. There's been no indication that he'll be a starter this time around, as he'll return to the roster in place of outfielder Andrew Benintendi, who landed on the injured list with a strained right rib cage in a corresponding move.
